Rumor Mill


Star Wars
Along with some of the other rumors we have discussed, now it sounds like there is a desire to bring Kylo Ren back for future movies or a Disney+ series.
In Other Rumors…
In spite of recent anti-rumor concerning the demise of the successor series following Rebels, it DOES seem that the series IS still in motion.

Project Power
Netflix is reportedly considering the superhero a la limitless movie for a series. It sounds like it could be either a proper series, OR a series of movies.

Apex Legends
Data miners have found text that seems to imply another new map in the game. This time it is going to be a tropical location… whatever that may mean.

Fantastic Four
Marvel just registered 2 new production companies, Grass-Fed Productions and Solve Everything Productions. One of which seems to imply Fantastic Four could be gearing up for production.
IF it IS F4 that is being pushed forward, then the name could imply we might be seeing the council of Reeds from the comics, according to another rumor.
